A child care director’s job description centers on quality standards to provide a safe developmental learning environment for young children. Hiring, training and supervising staff is a main duty of this position. Often, daycare staff are new professionals that are eager to learn, and are also in need of mentoring. A child care director must not only schedule staff, but spend time observing their teaching skills and instituting professional development to help them expand their knowledge. Meeting with parents and addressing concerns is one of the most important child director responsibilities. For example, if a child is having a difficult time adjusting to the learning environment, a child care director may meet with the lead teacher and the parents to discuss intervention options. In addition to the programmatic side of a day care, a child care director must oversee the financial side of the center. This often includes marketing, balancing the financial books, billing, and ordering supplies. If an emergency arises, a child care director must spring into action, following established protocol and making sure that all children are safe and protected.
